6 IVEA® 600S
Summary of Safety PrecautionsCarefully read and strictly follow the warnings and cautions listed on the following pages. Service only by qualified personnel.
WARNINGS
• IVEA is not intended to bear full patient weight during ambulation. Handle safe working load is 60lb. Exceeding this weight limit may result in a tip hazard and potential patient harm.
• A qualified clinician should be with the patient at all times for patients with tethered equipment that, if detached, can be life-threatening to the patient (such as PICC catheter, thoracic drainage tube, etc.) or patients that are required to have clinical support during ambulation due to their condition as assessed by approved hospital and physical therapy assessment policies and/or procedures.
• Do not mount or place equipment on the unit that it was not designed to accommodate.
• Use of the IVEA is not intended to replace or diminish professional caregiver judgment. Responsible consideration of a patient’s needs and abilities should govern any use of this product.
• Special care should be taken when using the IVEA with patients considered to be at risk for falls. These patients include, but aren’t limited to, those who manifest specific intrinsic and extrinsic factors that may or may not have been identified through a clinical risk assessment.
• Improper use of the IVEA may result in injuries to the patient and/or the caregiver. Proper care must be taken to follow all instructions and to use the IVEA only as intended.
• Improper and inadequate maintenance of the IVEA after patient use may increase the potential of hospital-acquired infections. Care must be taken to properly care for and maintain the IVEA after each patient use. See Care and Maintenance for instructions.
• IVEA is not intended to be used to assist a patient from a sitting to standing position or standing to sitting position. Utilizing IVEA for these purposes may result in a tip hazard and potential patient harm.
• Riding or mounting the IVEA may result in serious personal injury. The IVEA should not be used for any purpose for which it wasn’t designed. Do not stand on the legs, place excessive weight on the handles, or use the IVEA in any manner inconsistent with proper use.
• Do not modify the IVEA under any circumstances. Any modification may result in injuries to the patient and/or caregiver. Any modification to the product will void the product warranty.
• Do not use the IVEA with the Indicator Pin protruding. If the Lock Pin Indicator protrudes, the IVEA is not fully deployed. Lift up gently on the foot pedal with your toe until the locking mechanism “clicks” and the Indicator Pin is flush with the brace bracket.
• The IVEA is designed to be used on level surfaces only. Do not use the IVEA on sloping surfaces.
7IVEA® 600S
CAUTIONS
• Avoid elevating IV bags during ambulation. Keep the height of the IV bags low enough during ambulation to provide a clear field of vision for the patient. See Proper Placement of IV Hooks, under Features and Their Proper Use, Section Two: Ambulatory Use.
• Avoid releasing the IV pole clamp while loaded with IV bags or other unintended equipment without controlling the descent. Prior to releasing the IV pole clamp, caregiver should hold the IV pole, release the clamp, and control the descent of the IV pole to desired height.
• Do not use the IVEA outdoors or in inappropriate environments. The IVEA is designed to roll easily and quietly over virtually any indoor surface, over typical gaps between flooring and elevators, and over changes in surface type. It is not intended for outdoor use, or for use across wet floors or in places where there are evident inclines or declines, obstacles or hazards. Use in inappropriate environments may result in patient or caregiver injury or damage to the product.
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when servicing the IVEA.
• Use caution to avoid possible pinching injury. Keep fingers, feet and toes away from inner surfaces of the IVEA when collapsing product for storage. Use caution when folding and unfolding the handles to avoid pinching against the main column or portions of the handle bracket. Use caution when folding and unfolding the chest drain arm and O2 tank hoop to avoid pinching against the main column or portions of the accessory bracket.
• Ensure that the IVEA is away from the bed (especially rails and frame) when raising or lowering the bed height as significant damage can occur to the IVEA with the potential for injury to those standing next to the IVEA during such an event.
• Do not stand on, push down on or place heavy objects on the deployed chest drain arm.
• Do not bang the O2 tank on the O2 hoop when lowering the tank into position. Do not stand on, push down on, or place any heavy object on the deployed O2 hoop.

9IVEA® 600S
Introduction Started by a former RN, Firefly Medical develops transformative patient-care equipment designed to help improve the lives of patients and caregivers. The IVEA is state of the art patient equipment management system developed with significant clinician input to help improve mobility, safety, efficiency and storability by organizing patient equipment on a mobile platform.
The IVEA is ideal for patients who are ready or nearly ready to ambulate. It holds the patient’s equipment bedside, helping to eliminate set-up time for ambulation and making it possible for one caregiver to safely ambulate a patient. Easy to use, easy to maintain and easy to store, the IVEA provides solutions to multiple challenges caregivers face every day.
This manual provides operating instructions and product information in five main sections:
1. General Considerations
2. Ambulatory Use
3. Bedside Use
4. Care, Maintenance, and Storage
5. Troubleshooting and Product Information
Every caregiver who uses the IVEA should read this manual and understand the proper use of the device. We also recommend that caregivers take time to familiarize themselves with the device and how it operates before they use it with patients.
NOTE: In the text, the term “caregiver” refers to nurses, physical therapists, aides, transport personnel and any other healthcare professionals who use the IVEA to provide patient care.
NOTE: Many adjustment points, i.e., buttons and levers, appear in blue in the various diagrams and photos and are blue on the IVEA itself.
NOTE: Refer to the IVEA Diagram and Legend preceding this introduction for a list of features.

Section Two: Ambulatory Use1. Features and Their Proper Use
This section reviews several product features and provides instructions for use. Refer to corresponding diagrams.
2. Preparation for Use
INSTALLING THE SURETREK CASTER SYSTEM
Your IVEA includes the SureTrek Caster System. SureTrek is a responsive solution that gives caregivers greater control over patient ambulation. The system features a pedal on each caster that locks each wheel’s swivel and rotation and an additional pedal on the two leg casters that locks the leg caster swivel function in a straight-forward orientation.
This gives caregivers the option to secure the IVEA in place; enable the IVEA’s tight-turning capability, which is useful in small spaces such as hospital bathrooms; or secure the leg casters in a forward-tracking position for ambulation.
NOTE: The SureTrek Caster System is not intended to replace or supersede good caregiver judgment. We recommend that caregivers familiarize themselves with the feel of the SureTrek casters before they use them with patients.
INSTALLATION
The SureTrek Caster System includes left and right leg casters marked L and R, with blue and yellow pedals (see Photos 1 - 3), and two identical nose casters with only blue pedals (see Photo 4).
Photo 1 Photo 2 Photo 3 Photo 4
14 IVEA® 600S
To install the system:
1. Position the collapsed device so that the undersides of the legs face upward.
2. Locate the leg caster marked L on the hex surface. Engage the brake by depressing the blue pedal. Partially insert the caster stem into the end socket of the left leg, which is on the same side as the oxygen tank hoop. Rotate the caster until the notch in the hex is positioned exactly as shown (see Photo 5). The notch should be positioned in line with the leg. The SureTrek tracking system will not work if the notch is improperly oriented. Push the caster fully into place, making sure the hex engages its socket (see Photos 6 & 7).
3. Repeat Step 2 with the right leg caster marked R, making certain the notch is oriented correctly and the hex is fully engaged.
4. Engage the brake of a nose caster by depressing the blue pedal marked ON. Insert the caster stem into a socket in the IVEA nose. Rotate the caster until the hex sides align with the socket, then push fully into place. Note that nose casters do not have orientation notches.
5. Repeat Step 4 with the second nose caster. Release the brakes on all four casters by pulling up on the blue pedals.
6. When all four casters are correctly installed, the deployed IVEA will rest stably on the floor. If not stable, check that all caster hexes are fully engaged in their mating sockets.
OPENING THE IVEA FROM STORAGE
1. Rest the collapsed IVEA on the floor. Lift up the top of the main column with one hand and lightly push down on the rear portion of one leg and then the other, with the other hand (see Photo 8).
2. As the legs begin to drop away from the main column, the IVEA will open on its own. Gently lift the top of the main column and guide the IVEA until it “clicks” into a locked open position.

15IVEA® 600S
3. When the IVEA is in a locked open position the Lock Pin Indicator button will be flush with the brace bracket (see Photo 9).
WARNING
Do not use the IVEA with the Indicator Pin protruding (see Photo 10). If the Lock Pin Indicator protrudes, the IVEA is not fully deployed. Lift up gently on the foot pedal with your toe until the locking mechanism “clicks” and the Indicator Pin is flush with the brace bracket.
3. Handles
UNFOLDING HANDLES FOR USE:
Grasp each handle by its black grip (together or individually) and pull back and up from the main column, until each handle “clicks” into its locked position parallel with floor (see Photos 11 and 12). If a handle doesn’t “click” into place, gently lift it up while gently
pushing down against the top surface of the handle bracket. NOTE: The blue buttons on each side of the handle bracket should pop out completely when handles are fully engaged. NOTE: Both handles should be in the same locked position, whether folded or unfolded.

16 IVEA® 600S
HANDLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT:
1. To raise or lower the handle bracket, pull the blue handle adjustment lever (see Photo 13) out and up, and grasp the handle bracket in the middle (near eyelet) (see Photo 14).
2. While supporting the handle bracket in the middle, gently slide it up or down the main column to the desired position.
3. Secure the handle bracket in place by pushing the handle adjustment lever down and in, to its closed position.
FOLDING HANDLES AWAY FOR STORAGE OR NON-USE:
1. Depress the blue buttons on each side of the handle bracket (together or individually) and push each handle down against the main column until it “clicks” into place (see Photo 15).
2. When handles are close to the main column, but not fully up against it, they will encounter resistance. This is normal. Continue to push each handle gently and firmly with an open palm to secure it flush with the main column (see Photo 16).

17IVEA® 600S
CAUTION
Use caution to avoid possible pinching injury. Use caution when folding and unfolding the handles to avoid pinching against the main column or portions of the handle bracket.
NOTE: If handles are not fully secured, they may fall away from the main column when IVEA is folded for storage.
PROPER HANDLE HEIGHT FOR AMBULATION
The IVEA was designed to accommodate patients ranging in height from 4’10” to 6’2”. Handle height should be adjusted to suit the patient’s height (see Photo 17).
4. Angled Equipment Pole and IV Pole
ATTACHING INFUSION PUMPS AND OTHER EQUIPMENT WITH CLAMPS
The equipment pole and IV pole on the IVEA are tilted 20 degrees off vertical but are otherwise similar to a traditional IV pole. The process for securing infusion pumps and other equipment with clamps is the same for both. Secure the pump just below the top cap of the IVEA, on the uppermost part of the equipment pole. Once a pump is properly mounted to the IVEA, it will sit at an upward-facing angle, making it easier to view and adjust (see Photo 18). Secure other equipment with clamps on the pole as desired.
RAISING THE IV POLE
To extend the IV pole on the IVEA, release the blue pole-adjustment lever and extend the pole to the desired height (see Photo 19). Close the pole adjustment lever to secure the pole in place.

5. IV Hooks
PROPER PLACEMENT
During patient ambulation the height of the IV hooks should be lowered enough to provide a clear field of vision, typically below chin level (see Photo 20).
ROTATING IV HOOKS AWAY FROM PATIENT
The IV hook assembly of the IVEA consists of four hooks: two on shorter arms and two on longer arms. Compress the two hook rotation buttons just below the hook assembly to spin the hooks 180 degrees (see Photos 21 and 22).
NOTE: During ambulation the two hooks on longer arms should face outward, at approximately the ten o’clock and two o’clock positions (see Photo 23). This configuration provides the optimal position for hanging the IV bags and prevents the bags from colliding with the handles when the hooks are in their lowest position.

19IVEA® 600S
POSITION OF THE IV HOOKS DURING STORAGE
When the IVEA is collapsed for storage, the IV hook assembly should be fully lowered and turned back around so the two hooks on longer arms are in the four o’clock and eight o’clock positions (see Photo 24).
6. Power Strip Bracket and Cord Hooks
ADJUSTING THE POWER STRIP BRACKET
The power strip bracket is located on the pump pole and can be adjusted anywhere along the length of the pump pole to secure the top and bottom brackets of a compatible third-party power strip (not included) (see Photo 25). To adjust each power strip bracket, loosen and tighten each socket head screw with a 4mm hex key or driver. Do not over tighten.
NOTE: While power strips of different sizes can be secured to the IVEA, only power strips that meet regulatory guidelines for use in patient-care facilities should be used.
MANAGING ELECTRICAL CORDS
Two sets of cord hooks located on either side of the main column hold electrical cords neatly out of the way to improve organization and reduce tripping hazards. Wind cords for infusion pumps and other devices in a figure-eight pattern for the most secure storage (see Photo 26). Use cord hooks only for electrical cords.
7. IV Tubing and O2 Tubing Clips
IV TUBING CLIPS
On each side of the handle bracket are four rigid, semi-circular clips. The three smaller clips on each side are the IV tubing clips. Loop the IV tubing as needed and gently press the loops into the clips to organize them, keep them off the floor, and prevent the patient from getting tangled in them during ambulation (see Photo 27).

20 IVEA® 600S
O2 TUBING CLIPS
The largest of the four rigid, semi-circular clips, located closest to the main column on each side of the handle bracket is the O2 tubing clip. Press O2 tubing into either or both of these clips to organize and secure it (see Photo 28).
Ensure that all tubing has sufficient slack between the clips and the patient to allow for normal patient activity such as moving in bed, ambulating, sitting on the toilet, etc. Slack may need to be adjusted from one type of activity to another (e.g., providing additional slack while the patient is in bed and less slack during ambulation).
8. Accessory Bracket Holding Chest Drain Arm, Catheter Bag Hook and O2 Tank Hoop
These three features are located midway down the main column. From the perspective of the patient, the chest drain arm is on the right, the catheter bag hook is in the center and the O2 tank hoop is on the left (see Photo 29).
CHEST DRAIN ARM
The chest drain arm will hold one or two standard chest drainage systems. To use, grasp the chest drain arm with one hand and depress the blue lever. Rotate the arm back and up until it “clicks” into its in-use position (see Photo 30).
Use same action for O2 Hoop.
CAUTION
Use caution to avoid possible pinching injury. Use caution when folding and unfolding the chest drain arm to avoid pinching against the main column or portions of the acces-sory bracket.
Photo 28
Photo 29

21IVEA® 600S
To hang a chest drain, suspend it from its hooks on the arm. If two are hung, they should be positioned back-to-back on the arm. Hang chest drain(s) by placing all hooks on the arm and ensure that they are inside of the small stop pin located on the end of the arm.
CAUTION
Do not stand on, push down on or place heavy objects on the deployed chest drain arm.
To return the chest drain arm to its non-use position, remove drainage device(s), depress the blue latch on the arm, and gently lower the arm against the main column until it “clicks” into its fully closed position.
CATHETER BAG HOOK
Located at the center of the main column, between the O2 hoop and the chest tube arm is a hook that will hold either a single or double-hook catheter bag (see Photos 31 and 32). This hook is nonadjustable and is designed to securely hold a standard catheter bag below the level of the bladder, during patient ambulation and bedside.
Photo 31 Photo 32
22 IVEA® 600S
O2 TANK HOOP
The O2 tank hoop will hold a standard E-sized (M-24) tank of oxygen. To use, grasp the neck of the hoop with one hand and depress the blue lever. Rotate the hoop back and up until it “clicks” into its in-use position.
Carefully slide the O2 tank through the hoop and position the bottom of the tank inside the cup below the hoop (see Photos 33 & 34).
CAUTION
Do not bang the O2 tank on the O2 hoop when lowering the tank into position. Do not stand on, push down on, or place any heavy object on the deployed O2 hoop.
CAUTION
Use caution to avoid possible pinching injury. Use caution when folding and unfolding the O2 tank hoop to avoid pinching against the main column or portions of the accessory bracket.
To return the O2 tank hoop to its non-use position, remove the O2 tank, depress the blue lever on the neck of hoop and gently lower it down against main column until it “clicks” into its fully closed position.

9. SureTrek Caster System
NOSE CASTER OPERATION
To lock caster, press down on blue pedal marked “ON” with your toe until it clicks. This function prevents the caster from both rolling and swiveling. (see Photo 35 & 36) To release, press down on the pedal marked “OFF”.
LEG CASTER OPERATION
1. To lock caster, press down on the blue pedal with your toe until it clicks. This function prevents the caster from both rolling and swiveling. To release, press the adjacent yellow pedal down until the blue pedal pops up.
2. For tracking function, press down on the yellow pedal with your toe until it clicks (see Photo 37). This function prevents the caster from swiveling and helps control the equipment’s direction as it’s pushed forward. To release, press the adjacent blue pedal down until the yellow pedal pops up.
NOTE: Yellow tracking pedals can be depressed with the caster in any swivel orientation. Move the IVEA straight forward, and the tracking system will engage.
NOTE: If the yellow pedals are engaged but the leg casters do not lock in the straight forward position, left and right casters may be reversed, or hex notches may not be aligned correctly.
WARNING
IVEA is not intended to be used to assist a patient from a sitting to standing position or standing to sitting position. Utilizing IVEA for these purposes may result in a tip hazard and potential patient harm.

PROPER USE
This section describes correct use of the SureTrek Caster System. It assumes that the IVEA has been properly deployed and is being used with an appropriate patient.
Ambulation
SureTrek is designed to limit the tight-turning capability and side-to-side movement of the IVEA during ambulation by locking the swivel feature of the leg casters and engaging them in a forward-tracking position.
The caregiver should be familiar with the feel and action of the SureTrek System before using it with a patient. The caregiver should engage the SureTrek System if he or she determines that the patient’s condition warrants use of the system’s single-track function.
To engage the SureTrek System, first lock both nose casters. Then press down on the yellow pedals of both leg casters with your toe until they click. The leg casters can be at any orientation to the legs when the yellow pedals are pressed. Unlock the nose casters. Push the IVEA forward until the leg casters move into the forward-tracking position.
Before placing a patient on the IVEA, test the SureTrek System to be sure it’s fully engaged by exerting moderate lateral pressure on the IVEA. If the SureTrek System is fully engaged, the leg casters will not move side to side.
Bedside
All four casters lock to prevent wheel rotation during bedside use or in other situations when the patient and equipment are stationary. It is advisable to engage at least two of the four caster locks when the equipment is positioned bedside.
Proper use of caster locks aids keeping the IVEA stationary (e.g., at the bedside).
WARNING
IVEA is not intended to be used to assist a patient from a sitting to standing position or standing to sitting position. Utilizing IVEA for these purposes may result in a tip hazard and potential patient harm.
NOTE: Always disengage all blue pedals when moving the deployed IVEA from one position or place to another.
Bathrooms and Other Tight Spaces
When the SureTrek System is engaged, the two nose casters still pivot fully, but maneuverability of the IVEA is limited. For use in tight quarters such as a bathroom, consider disengaging the SureTrek tracking system to restore the IVEA’s optimal turning radius.
25IVEA® 600S
Section Three: Bedside Use
CAUTION
Ensure that the IVEA is away from the bed (especially rails and frame) when raising or lowering the bed height as significant damage can occur to the IVEA with the potential for injury to those standing next to the IVEA during such an event.
1. Engaging SureTrek Casters
All four casters lock to prevent wheel rotation during bedside use or in other situations when the patient and equipment are stationary. It is advisable to engage at least two of the four caster locks when the equipment is positioned bedside.
2. Positioning the IV Pole
If the patient is unlikely to be getting out of bed, the IV pole can be raised so that IV bags hang higher.
NOTE: Refer to Features and Their Proper Use in this manual for instructions on how to properly load patient equipment on the IVEA.

Section Four: Care, Maintenance, and Storage After patient use, the IVEA should be maintained in accordance with your facility’s protocols. When the IVEA is not in use, it folds and stores easily.
NOTE: Always open the IVEA as instructed.
1. IVEA Care and Maintenance
Before maintaining the IVEA, remove all infusion pumps and other equipment from the unit. If a power strip is mounted to the IVEA, disconnect it from any external power source to prevent possible electrical shock. Remove hair and other debris from caster wheels to ensure proper function. Notify Environmental Services if additional care and maintenance is required.
DO NOT steam sterilize or EtO (Ethylene Oxide) sterilize the IVEA.
DO NOT immerse the IVEA or any of its components in care and maintenance agents.
Use OSHA and/or EPA-compliant and facility-approved care and maintenance agents to wipe down all exposed surfaces of the IVEA after patient use. Use a disposable wipe or dampen a cloth with care and maintenance agent to wipe the equipment.
To avoid damage to the IVEA, make sure that the wipe or cloth is not over saturated. Do not spray the care and maintenance agent directly on the equipment.
Follow hospital established care and maintenance protocols for durable medical equipment. Recommended compatible hospital care and maintenance agents include:
• Neutral pH Quaternary solutions
• Isopropyl Alcohol
• Chlorinated bleach solutions (1:100 concentration)
• Phenolic solutions
NOTE: Virex® brand and hydrogen peroxide based agents have not been tested on the IVEA and may cause harm to the product.
NOTE: Additional precautions and care and maintenance protocols may be required after use by patients classified as “isolation.” Refer to your facility’s policies for proper care and maintenance protocols.
2. Storage Features and Their Proper Use
A brief review of the IVEA’s storage features is provided in this section. Refer to the photos and explanations to promote proper use.

Section 5: Troubleshooting and Product Information
This section should help you troubleshoot common problems with the IVEA. If these suggestions don’t resolve your issue, immediately remove the unit from clinical and patient use and contact: Stryker Customer Service or Technical Support: 1-800-327-0770.
Problem: Try this:
Legs will not separate from the main column when opening up the IVEA.
Rest the collapsed IVEA on the floor. Lift up the top of main column with one hand and lightly push down on the rear portion of one leg and then the other, with the other hand. Do not stand unit on end to open.
IVEA will not stay in the open position.
If the IVEA doesn’t “click” into a locked position when opened, lift up gently on the foot pedal with your toe until it “clicks” and locks. When the IVEA is in a locked open position the Lock Pin Indicator button will be flush with the brace bracket.
IV pole drifts downward once it’s raised.
Ensure that the blue pole adjustment lever at the base of the IV pole is pushed firmly closed. If the lever is fully closed and the IV pole still drifts down, the pole adjustment lever may need to be tightened (Contact your hospital biomedical department or Stryker Technical Support at 1-800-327-0770).
Handle bracket drifts downward.
Ensure that the blue handle height adjustment lever is pushed firmly closed. If the lever is fully closed and the bracket still drifts downward, the lever may need to be adjusted (Contact your hospital biomedical department or StrykerTechnical Support at 1-800-327-0770).
Handle height is difficult to adjust.
To raise or lower the handle bracket, open up the handle adjustment lever fully, grasp the bracket in the middle (near eyelet), and while supporting handle bracket, gently slide the bracket parallel to the column to raise or lower.
IVEA will not collapse when foot pedal is depressed.
To collapse the IVEA for storage, gently depress the foot pedal, then gently push the main column toward the floor. The IVEA should collapse smoothly. Control the main column’s descent to prevent the unit from “slamming” shut.
